“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnYGee1XJG
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK4bU81yFd
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhLcwiS4Ii
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt3itS3Fop
always succeed.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqI8RuFoDf
That is what we do, who we are.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg4H0EGjt4
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkijTIYEh8
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfLQSue9Vb
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9O2y7NsAY
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSIKIHexTd
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIGdh42zel
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qLppJDdAr
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR7LEerQeO
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY47ull8Rz
to succeed, and we always do.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk564uUePT
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNXeBM4MGa
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIX9AnjAzJ
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vur00qb79
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80ycHy6HQi
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFO1xdfvWx
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM17H1Cwxh
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZinltvayBE
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADxMCdo1xY
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EI3PHJkNa
at all times why we succeed...385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdSR3dQjwC
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaHG25pmLy
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMUsKuEOdh
with, in both time and geography.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsg6XyO1Tp
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmVINsHsPk
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUobZbiZUBq
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aBDXltb5R
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDj6DLbv5M
in the eyes.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTCAtS7cu3
Be always mindful of this.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas4GTv2gno
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57YOJsIM6T
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYb0PQDOyc
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZBIoUKUw0
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8sTzCeL1q
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHXKCkPqtV
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPf4FC75Wb
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ0JBNVmk1
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPWnj5QTV3
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7AprTLU7U
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXF3IdveZC
command.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6fD4BLasK
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7rVVeARBy
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHjuafL4Ts
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7VeNdO5KG
about this.
